How to Make Southern Cornbread from Scratch

Happy Thursday Y’all!

Cornbread is synonymous with the South. When you think of the South, you think of delicious and moist cornbread. We eat cornbread all year round, and when the weather begins to cool down. You can find us eating a big ole bowl of soup or beans with our cornbread. It literally goes with everything, from collard greens to tomatoes, rice, and sausage to a delectable roast during a Sunday dinner with family and friends. All three of these recipes can be found here, here, and here.

However, not all cornbread is created equal. For years, I had used Jiffy sometimes it turned out well. Other times you could tell that it came straight from a box. After years of using Jiffy, I decided it was time to create my own mouthwatering and moist cornbread. So let’s get cooking y’all, because this recipe is amazing.

As always we always need a list of ingredients before we get started.

List of Ingredients

-1 cup of buttermilk

-2 large eggs

-1 cup of cornmeal

-1/2 cup of unsalted butter

-2/3 cup of white sugar

-1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

-1 cup of all-purpose flour

-1/2 teaspoon of salt

Preparing Cornbread Ingredients on Stove

First, you’re going to melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a pan on the stove.

Once the butter is completely melted remove the pan from the heat. Add 2/3 cup of sugar, you’ll remove the pan from the heat to ensure the sugar does not burn.

Then, add 2 large eggs and beat until they are thoroughly blended into the mixture.

Adding All Cornbread Ingredients Together

Then, in that same bowl add 1 cup of cornmeal, and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour.

Stir all these ingredients together, until they’re virtually not lumps. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.

Then, generously grease your round 9 inch pan with butter.
